Frequently Asked Questions - Ambiano MD37115 MEDION

How do I set the temperature on my Ambiano MD37115 refrigerator?

Use the temperature control dial (item 2). Settings range from 0 (off) to 5 (coldest). A setting of 2-4 is typical for normal use. Turn to 5 for fast cooling before adding fresh food.

How do I defrost the freezer compartment?

When ice is 3-4 mm thick, defrost manually. Set temperature control to 5 a few hours prior, then turn to 0 and unplug. Remove frozen food (wrap in newspaper), leave door open, and clean after defrosting. Do not use sharp objects or heaters to speed up defrosting.

Can I change the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Tools needed: a No. 8 spanner and a small flat-head screwdriver. Follow the steps in the manual: remove hinges, swap sides, and reposition door. The door seal will adapt after a few hours.

How should I clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance. Remove all food and shelves. Clean interior with a mild detergent (e.g., dish soap) or a soda solution (3 tbsp baking soda per 1L water). Dry thoroughly. Clean door seal with clean water. Avoid abrasive or solvent-based cleaners.

What should I do if the refrigerator is not cooling?

Check if the mains plug is connected and the socket is live. Ensure the temperature control is not set to 0. If the door does not close properly, rearrange contents. Avoid opening the door frequently. If still not working, contact service center.
